I've been asking this for years. But how I phrase it is
I'm always looking to improve myself, and this is a hard question to ask, but feedback is a part of great communication. Is there anything which gives you pause in wanting to move forward with me?
Edit: You didn't want to just ask questions. You want to put some meat or context on questions.

I always say “feedback is a gift”
Never asked it for exactly the reasons your friend mentioned. Seems like it produces two outcomes: either there are concerns and the interview ends on a sour note, or there aren't (or they're too polite to say) and you come across as fishing for validation. Neither sounds great to me.

Yeah, that’s exactly why I’ve never asked it either (well, that and the whole “not doing job interviews” thing). It feels like a trap disguised as confidence. You’re basically handing them a loaded question. If they do have concerns, they might bring up something you can’t fully recover from right there, and the vibe shifts. If they say “nope, all good,” it either feels like a polite dodge or makes you look a little insecure for asking. Lose-lose.
I’ve asked that before! I stopped when someone mentioned it could steer the interview into a negative mindset about your skills. I can see both sides, but I chose to ask different questions for myself now. Generally speaking, your background and skills are already known, so there shouldn’t be any dealbreaker issues on their mind if you’re already in the interview. Does anyone have other go-to questions they always ask at the end?
I started asking questions about how management supports their team through times of stress. It turns the tables in the interview and the answers I have gotten help weed out bad managers (i.e. "... I'm not a micromanager" means they are a micromanager)
I usually ask if there was something on my resume that I could improve.

If anyone ever asks a question like this, or any other question that would or could be considered ending the interview on a bad note, I always answer in the positive. Thank them for asking! Then take one of your interview points that they haven’t asked yet or that you didn’t get to talk about and answer with that answer l!
